'Lincoln' star Day-Lewis virtually locked in his Best Actor Oscar by securing the SAG accolade for his portrayal of assassinated U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.

Logan said: "We are so not expecting this! Oh!" And thanked the SAG, "for even bothering to consider us against this fantastic category that we're in, we are just absolutely overwhelmed by it all."
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence bounced back from a bout of pneumonia to collect the best Female Actor in a Leading Role title for her Academy Award-nominated turn in comedy drama 'Silver Linings Playbook'.
